Builds an Independent Government Cost Estimate worksheet, rate validation report, Basis of Estimate narrative, and MCP orchestration log from pasted SOW/PWS, labor categories, and period of performance. As the unified IGCE Builder Suite, it auto-detects contract type and produces Firm-Fixed-Price, Labor-Hour/T&M, and Cost-Reimbursement (CPFF/CPAF/CPIF) estimates from one tool — consolidating what used to be three separate IGCE builders into a single SKU. Use this skill when the user says "IGCE builder", "build IGCE", "FFP IGCE", "LH/T&M IGCE", "cost-reimbursement IGCE", "Independent Government Cost Estimate", "pricing buildup", or "cost estimate worksheet". Designed for pricing managers and federal-contractor prosumers at the pricing stage. Orchestrates BLS OEWS, GSA CALC, and GSA Per Diem MCPs to validate every direct labor rate against a BLS 75th-percentile floor and GSA CALC ceiling. Reuses the Wrap Rate Calculator formula multiplicatively. Enforces FAR Part 31 cost principles, FAR 15.404-3 sub markup limits, FAR 31.205-46 travel at cost, and DCAA CAM Chapter 9 BOE conventions; for LH/T&M it sets the Ceiling Price per FAR 16.601(d)(1)(ii) and for Cost-Reimbursement it adds cost-pool buildup, fee analysis, a Price Reasonableness Memo, and CAS/LOC/FAR 31.205 flags. Surfaces TINA threshold check per NDAA FY2026 and defective-pricing exposure regardless of threshold. No FOUO, CUI, or classified content accepted.

A redacted example of what this tool produces — so you can judge the quality before you buy.
Redacted, illustrative example. Rates, names, and figures are fictional placeholders — for internal estimate illustration only.
This sample shows the Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) deliverable set in full, then briefly notes the Labor-Hour/T&M and Cost-Reimbursement variants the suite auto-detects and produces. The suite returns four parts in one pass: IGCE Worksheet (4 sheets), Rate Validation Report, BOE Narrative, and MCP Orchestration Log.
FOR INTERNAL ESTIMATE USE; NOT A PROPOSAL PRICE. This IGCE is a draft
based on pasted inputs and public-data MCP queries. Pricing manager +
Contracts review required before any external use. Defective-pricing
exposure per FAR 15.403 / FCA persists regardless of TINA threshold
status. No FOUO/CUI/classified content accepted in intake.

1. Scope Basis. Derived from SOL-25-R-0042 PWS Section C.5. Verbatim excerpt:
"The contractor shall provide operations and maintenance support for [REDACTED] enterprise systems, including 24x7 incident response coverage."
2. Labor Hour Derivation. Senior Systems Engineer hours estimated Bottom-Up (1 FTE × 1,920 productive hrs/yr; PWS C.5.2). Program Manager estimated Parametric (0.5 FTE level-of-effort across PoP).
3. Rate Derivation. Per-row burdened rate computed multiplicatively; base rates sourced to BLS OEWS May 2025 (SOC × MSA 47900) and Tool #16 wrap output dated 2026-05-17 (Provisional basis class).
5. Escalation. 3.0% annual (default per DCAA convention); source BLS Employment Cost Index Q1 2026, applied to option-year base rates.
